7 country music hit songs that put faith back on the mainstream charts

By Jeannie Ortega Law, Christian Post Reporter Twitter

Matt Stell's "Prayed for You"

Lastly, newcomer Matt Stell made his radio chart debut this year with his hit single, "Prayed for You."

The artist reportedly skipped out on Harvard University's pre-med program to follow his dreams. He took a music publishing deal in Nashville where he penned the revealing single with Ash Bowers and Allison Veltz.

"Cause every single day, before I knew your name/ I couldn't see your face, but I prayed for you/ Every heartbreak trail when all hope fell/ On the highway to hell, I prayed for you/ I kept my faith like that old King James/ Said I'm supposed to/ It's hard to imagine, bigger than I could fathom/ I didn't know you from Adam but I prayed for you," he sings as a reflection of a prayer he said for his future spouse.
